Catherine Murray, who lives in the area, said the woman "was just a frail, old lady that you would see going shopping every now and again".

"She really kept herself to herself. Quiet - but always said hello when I saw her. Just a nice lady."

Patricia Bates, another resident, said: "She's lived up here for years and years, same as myself. Probably lived here all her life, for all I know."
